I have been a study at UNF since 2015 when I transferred there after I got out of Active Duty. Great campus in a great location. I love the small hiking paths on the campus, fitness center, and even the cafeteria has good options.I think my favorite part though are the professors. Highly recommend this school.

One of the best schools in Florida; I've landed numerous opportunities based on my education from here. Definitely up and coming in terms of notarity.

Best support ever.
Overall 4.9
This school has it all for students who actually use the resources to do better, if you sign up for a bad teacher that's different. However, UNF is good for students that want to get through college asap and focus on academics rather than partying because it is not a party school - there are places to go out though if you meet the right people.

UNF has helped and guided me through many stressors throughout my coursework and personal life. They have helped me mentally, financially, and have many tutoring resources regarding your course load. 10/10 so far :)

Unf is the best school
Overall 4.7
This is one of the best schools I've attended. There's plenty of things to do on campus and I love how all the classes are set up. I've been distance learning since 2020, since I also moved, but the teachers are wonderful. I'd like there to be better food options.

I wouldnt return to this school if my life depended on it. Unvetted lazy teachers, sucky campus, and advisors who cant do their jobs. They will steal your money, forget about classes you have to take, screw up your schedule, and push back your graduation. Joke of a school and shouldnt even be accredited. Took them two years to find a president

feel bad for the incoming freshman, one of the worst universities in Florida. If you want to miss out on the college experience, go here. If you want horrible tenure professors that don't care about their job, go here. If you like to ask for help and receive none, go here. Also, the tuition charged doesn't match their website, it's way more.
Overall 1.2
Do not waste your money at this school. Ableist professors who put extra burden on vulnerable students. Several majors with classes only offered once a year with very few classes that will coordinate together, but if you don't take at least 15 credit hours you can kiss any institutional grants goodbye. Horrible school.
Overall 1.8
The social environment is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE and the school is super boring, but im taking computing degree and holy hell the classes are bad. For one class, we paid 700-1000 dollars for the class only for a $70 textbook to do 95 percent of the teaching. The professors don't teach you this stuff properly and if you're a beginner, you are screwed.
Overall 1.9
Needs better advisors with proper help and guidance for students. The advisors are helpless, the professors are mediocre, and the computer science field is worse and unorganized.
Overall my rating is 4.5/10:
- lack of opportunities
- lack of student fairness
- lack of equal treatment for all students
- lack of adequate advisors

This school is not for you, if you are horrible at school then stay AWAY from this school because this school has zero respect for you as a student because the core classes are PHD level when hitting your major even the basic 2000 course level feels like your in master's Dorms are like mental asylum. Good luck with One-Stop, no HELP!!!!

UNF stands for, U-Never-Finish They will drain your pockets for as long as they possibly can. The communication between the registrar, advisors and their advisees is absolutely horrid. I had multiple struggles with my advisors telling me one thing and the registrar telling me another. Blocked from graduating twice when I was told I had the credits
